Biethnic Comparisons of Autosomal Genomic Scan for Loci Linked to Plasma Adiponectin in Populations of Chinese and Japanese Origin
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin is secreted by adipocytes and is thought to have insulin-sensitizing and antiatherogenic effects. Two previous genome scans for plasma adiponectin have identified different regions for European and Pima Indian populations. We here present multipoint linkage analysis of adiponectin levels using a variance-components model for 1007 siblings (from 360 nuclear families) of Chinese origin and 352 siblings...
